WHAT IS 4 nphY."

The Constitution Of the United States
uses the word "day" without qualihca-
tion or definition. The fathers aud
founders of the, Nation probably gave
their successors credit for knowing the
meaning of so short and simple word,
and foresaw no possibility Of dispute
as to what constitutes day.
They might, perhaps, have inferred
from the wide range of opinion as to the
duration of the six days Of Genesis.
that there might be some conflict of
judgment as to the meaning of the
"ten days" of the Constitution.
Whatever was their view, the al
journment of the Senate at 1855 q. m.
yesterday "until II o'clock TO morrow"
and Its reconvening five minutes later,
is calculated to cast doubt upon the
meaning Of the word day" and the
proceedings Of the forenoon to-day at
the Capitol of Congress which
necessarily expired by limitation and
could transact no business after the
close of March 0, increases these
doubts.
The matter is not free from serious
questions.
The Trade Dollar bill and Anti
Polygamy bill were hastened from the
Capitol to the White House less than a
fortnight ago so that they might be in
the President hands for ten full days
prior to adjournment,
The object Of this was clearly that
If, under Constitutional provision, he
held the bills for ten days, Sundays
excepted, without action, they became
laws. If, on the other hand, the bills
were in his bands, unacted upon aud
their fate unsettled when Congress al.
journcd. they would, by Constitutional
provision, fail with the expiration of
the session.
These two bills, both measures Of
great importance, became laws at the
close of the day of March 3, without
approval, If Congress was in session at
that time. If on the contrary Con.
gress had adjourned at that moment,
the bills failed,
March . presumably ended at mid
night, and the President regards these
bills as having thus become laws. If,
however, March 3 expired at midnight,
the terms of Office of the Speaker and
Members Of the House, and one third
of the members of the Senate, termi-
mated and Congress expired at that
hour.
If Congress expired at midnight last
night the subsequent action upon ap-
proprlation bills is invalid and the ac,
lions of Congress since that hour mean.
ingless, If March 0 ended at midnight,
Congress did so; If March did not end
at midnight the ten.day period closing
with March did not terminate.
The President recognizes ten calen.
dar days, ten midnight TO midnight
days, as the constitutional definitions

1t was generally understood and ex.
pecttd that the adverse report of the
Senate District Committee upon the
Trotter nomination would be responded
10 In executive session with similarly
emphatic negative.
il was so responded to In most vigor-
Gus terms by Senators Ingalls and
Blackburn, but majority of the Senate
thought otherwise, and concluded to
20 back upon It's own record, surrender
its independent judgment in the prem-
ises and leave TO the President the sole
responsibility for the most ilagrantly
unjust appointment of his administra.
tion.
The CRITIC took the ground that,
as the appointment ought not to be, it
would not be, confirmed; and that as
the Senate had rejected Matthews on
substantially the same grounds on
which the nomination of Trotter was
antagonized, 1t must, for simple con-
sistency's sake, take the same action in
the latter as In the former case. 1t
chose to be inconsistent and leave the
President master of the situation.
1t has been intimated that there was
deal In the case between certain Sen
ators aud the President regarding the
confirmation OF Matthews, which the
Senate by his rejection failed to carry
out, but which is consummated by the
confirmation of Trotter. How much
truth there may be in this we are not
prepared TO state, but one thing is evi.
dent, the President held the whip.
